What to Get...Yourself

This year there will be no gift guides up here at the bird due in equal part to my workload, inability to complete my own shopping and, finally, lack of skills at the powerpoint.

Confession: I don't even have the tree decorated. Yep, big slippin's (not to be confused with big pimpin') going on over here. Tonight I finally turned on the outside lights and am on pins, needles and maniacal laughs waiting for the neighbors to get home and have a look. Think Griswold. If you look out your door and see a glow to the west, THAT'S ME.

In the spirit of the season of exhaustion I think it's time you got yourself something. You deserve it.

Blame it on Olivia Palermo or, better yet, Princess Kate. She's allegedly pregnant so no one'll get on her for influencing you to get some London Sole and spill your wallet all over in their stores (or online). As someone who never really viewed themselves as a flats person, I'M WEARING FLATS.

I should have shopped more for myself. Got all the Christmas shopping done and now Christmas starts on Saturday, goes for 4 or 5 days straight (I can't keep up) and it's looking like I'll be leaving the house in sweats. I might consider that a success. Merry Christmas to all, I'd like a nap please.

I have been wanting to try London Sole for years...Emma Watson wears them alot, haha :pThose kitty slippers are awesome too! Unfortunately I didn't get myself anything yet, but there is still time to rectify that ;)http://www.closet-fashionista.com/

I clicked on the link to the London Sole website (not being a flats person either, I trust your judgment) and my eyes went fuzzy when I saw that these flats--what appear to be plain ballet flats--are $200 and up? What is the secret to their awesomeness??

ok i tried commenting on this last night - or well this morning at 3 am - guess it didn't go through - ANY WAYS .. Carrie u deserve those shoes - only problem (i was a heal girl for a LONG time, till i discovered the 'flats') - now u gotta get all ur pants hemmed! - us shorties have it hard
